Banyan Group marks 100th hotel with Singapore debut

This November, the Singapore-based independent hospitality company will effectively celebrate the grand opening of Mandai Rainforest Resort.

The Singapore property will be the 100th hotel of the group. And also its first urban resort in its home country. The debut will be marked by a week-long celebration and charity festival, underscoring the Group’s commitment to purpose-driven hospitality.

The Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree is nestled within the Mandai Wildlife Reserve, Singapore’s new integrated nature and wildlife destination. It is home to renowned zoological parks – Bird Paradise, Night Safari, River Wonders, Singapore Zoo, and Rainforest Wild ASIA.

Biophilic design is at the heart of the resort’s architecture, influencing every aspect from programs to signature amenities and services. The 338-room and 24 elevated treehouse suites resort blends seamlessly with its natural surroundings. It will offer rooms nestled in lush greenery or overlooking the Upper Seletar Reservoir. The unique layers of the rainforest—from the forest floor to the canopy—are reflected in the room designs, celebrating nature’s rich biodiversity.

“The first half of 2025 reflects not only the growth of our footprint, but also our belief that hospitality should offer more than just a place to stay,” said Eddy See, president and CEO of Banyan Group. “As we grow, we remain committed to using travel as a force for positive change and to deepening meaning, not just expanding presence.”
